Best-Brownies Ever

My daughter named these brownies Best-Brownies Ever because she fell madly in love with them. She is a brownie lover and these are her ALL TIME FAVES. We made them for a dear friend who was craving something chocolate and preferably in the form of a brownie. We tried these and I almost lost the two in brownie bliss!
